The white flag grocery store's golden protective ring proved its worth in the face of an explosion. The smoke cleared, and the people in the grocery store walked out, but remained inside the protective ring, and then took a closer look at the outside.

Captain Chang's original residence was already in ruins, and a pit ten meters deep appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Masonry, shaped by magical runes, becomes extremely dangerous when destroyed and renders ineffective, turning into soft quicksand, enough to bury any creature and cause suffocation - provided the creature has not died in the previous explosion.

The buildings surrounding the White Flag Grocery Store were all affected, collapsing, skewed, and damaged to varying degrees. The streets were littered with broken objects, and many people rushed out of their houses crying out, stepping on them with their bare feet, adding more wounds to their bodies.

"Store manager, let's take these people into the protective circle, what if there is another explosion?"

Raisa agreed to Qian Jing's proposal, and the entrance of the White Flag's store was instantly crowded with people. When the more seriously injured people entered the house, Captain Chang asked Feng Lingzhu to provide medical treatment. She can't make everyone heal alone, but stopping the bleeding, debridement, immobilization, and bandaging can all be life-saving at this time.

"When I tapped the warehouse, I saw that there was some Yunnan Baiyao inside. Store manager, can we sell some to them?"

Raisa shook her head: "The physical functions of the Fortress Star people are still different from those of Earth humans. Look at Feng Lingzhu, she didn't use any medicine at all, but she was worried that it would cause adverse reactions. We are businessmen, not doctors, and we can't sell drugs without professional knowledge. ”

Fortunately, the local rescuers arrived soon in the fortress, carrying medicines that the locals could use, mostly powdered substances with magical effects. Just as everyone was busy treating the wounded, a second roar was heard in the distance, and a tremor was heard on the ground. This time the distance was far, and the loud noises and vibrations would not cause harm, so the protective ring was not filtered, and Qian Jing and they all felt it normally.

"Now the great magicians are going to be angry. Someone in the crowd said.

The shrill whistle continued to emanate from the huge fortress magic tower in the center of the city, and the loud sound spread through all corners of the city. Immediately afterwards, the glowing sphere at the top of the fortress spire dimmed, turning from bright white to dark red, forming a hemispherical cover that covered the entire city from high to low.

The dark red light could penetrate the roof, walls, and floor, as well as the flesh, only to stop in front of the white flag's protective circle, and then go around. It scans the entire city and then continues to scan the earth downwards. The mages on the stronghold are very good at manipulating the power of the earth elementals, so the underground has always been a major defensive direction.

Suddenly, a black dot flew out of the fortress star tower and flew towards the city in a parabola. "It's the Guardian Golem! The Great Magician has sent a Guardian Golem! There must be an enemy attack, everyone pay attention to whether the strangers around you are spies!"

The rescue team sent out a reminder, and the eyes of the Fortress Star immediately focused on the group of people from Earth. The word "free from war" on Qian Jing's chest shone brightly, and Captain Chang and the others were the first to blow up their own houses, and they have been enthusiastically helping injured citizens. So everyone looked away and looked for potential enemies in other directions.

Qian Jing was even more curious about what those guard golems were. Due to the distance, he could only see the black dots of a human figure, barely distinguishing the outline of his hands, feet and head. Several guard golems crashed directly into residential areas from hundreds of meters in the air, crashing through buildings and sending out a large cloud of mist. After that, I can't see the money mirror.

"Is that golem powerful?"

Captain Chang nodded: "Of course, the creation that the great magician uses to protect himself is very powerful, and its combat power has an average of 10 ants, and the peak can reach about 20 ants. According to the information we have accumulated before, it can swim in stones, sand, and magma, and can maintain half the speed even when it encounters steel, while maintaining tremor perception for 300 meters. Any tiny vibration will be felt by it and a map of the whole area will be drawn. It's strong enough, and it also has the ability to regenerate in dirt and rock, as well as its ability to fight hand-to-hand. You don't want to fight it on the ground. ”

"What does 1 billion 2 billion mean?

"It's an ant of ants, not a quantifier. Zhuang Xian explained: "The Alliance of the Rings implemented unified weights and measures in the multiverse, and in the end found that there was only one ability that really made sense, and that was the ability to defend the survival of its own racial civilization. According to the most common types of organisms in the universe, they are divided into adults (fungus blankets), ants (larvae), eagles, trees, etc. This is entirely based on the preferences of the alliance manager, Queen Kiki, but over time everyone gets used to it. Levels in the average human are in the range of 5 to 50 bacteria. Newborn children do not even have the ability to find food on their own, and they cannot survive alone and must be cared for, so the ability to perpetuate race and civilization is 5. A thousand bacteria are an ant, have you ever heard of the power of a thousand guns? That's probably what it means. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Qianjun and Qianjun don't mean the same thing - although the actual expressiveness is about the same. Chang Sheng looked at the surrounding situation, and then said, "Tong Kill, you and the forensic doctor stay here and set up a retreat base." My ears and I went to see how the professor and the bands were doing. You have to be careful, if the situation is not good, ask the comrades of the white flag to send you back to Earth. ”

"It's never going to be so bad, and we're certainly not going to leave you behind. Zhuang Xian replied with a smile.

Captain Chang Sheng didn't say anything more, gave Liu Ming a look, and the two of them went out. Qian Jing approached Zhuang Xian and asked, "Why did you call you to kill?"

"If the captain calls us by our nicknames in front of you, it means that he trusts you. I'm suffocating, I can finally brag! Let's talk about the professor and the captain, this is not a nickname, that's a serious professor and captain. Liu Ming, who just went out with the captain, is our correspondent, he is very fast in learning languages, can guess passwords, and is nicknamed Three Ears. Song Tianrui is not here, he is a marksman, and he can use a slingshot to smash the main battle tank eight hundred miles away, so he is called a rubber band, which means that he likes to hit the glass in other people's homes. I'm the team's driver, and I'm also in charge of blasting, popping, and sudden, so it's called a kill. You see Feng Lingzhu looks very beautiful, in addition to being a doctor, she is also responsible for intelligence analysis, and her IQ is so high that she can scare the dead alive, so she is called a forensic doctor. ”

"You're actually pretty too, the heroic kind. ”

"At first glance, it's a virgin. Zhuang Xian patted Qian Jing's shoulder hard and knocked him aback. She dropped the money mirror and walked quickly to find Feng Lingzhu, and the two of them chattered together and didn't know what they were talking about.

Qian Jing also wanted to ask everyone by the way what their combat effectiveness was, and whether they had the power of a thousand jun? Can the "forensic doctor" Feng Lingzhu's ability to use silver needles and rune paper to treat him be considered combat effectiveness? Oh, by the way, Zhuang Xian said just now, the standard of measurement is an individual's ability to protect and continue his race and civilization, and fighting is only one aspect. The healing power certainly helps to prolong life, and of course it should be taken into account. In this way, Qian Mirror's Mind Shaping Ink can also increase the stats? Maybe the combat power should be renamed Civilization Power?

"I'm not the boss of the Ring Alliance, what the hell do I care!" Qian Jing came back to his senses and saw that Raisa was calling him, so he hurriedly ran over.

Raisa frowned, looking very worried. As soon as she took over the White Flag grocery store, she ran into a gambling agreement, and Boss Xu came to seize the shares of the store. This was followed by the reluctance of the old relations on Earth to lend a hand, then the monopoly of the sales channels of the Fortress Star by the Touri Group, and finally the blocking of the human wall on the road and the explosion just now. The successive events caused her a lot of pressure, and she didn't know if she should persevere, and if she could persevere.

When such an emotion came to his lips, it turned into a question: "Qian Jing, what do you think we should do next?"

"Well, of course, it's to stay and help the residents here and help Captain Chang complete their mission, isn't it obvious?" Qian Jing blurted out: "We have the protection of the Golden Circle, and we are not afraid of explosive attacks, which already has a great advantage." I think as long as we don't mess around and work steadily, we can do business anywhere. ”

"Do we still have an advantage?" Laisha's eyes lit up, like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw: "Tell me what our advantages are?"

"Oh......" Qian Jing thought for a moment before saying, "The explosion outside is scary, and the inside of the circle is safe." A sense of security turns into trust, and I think trust is as precious a treasure as trust. I'm not sure how to turn trust into profit, I didn't learn that, but I know someone who can explain it to you. Feng Lingzhu, nicknamed Forensic Doctor, is said to be very, very smart and good at analyzing the situation. I think you'd be right to ask her. ”

"But...... The White Flag is a neutral commercial organization, and it cannot do anything other than do business, especially not to have tendencies, otherwise it will be punished by the will of the world, and the Golden Circle will be damaged. Feng Lingzhu is a person from the relevant departments on the earth, and if he cooperates with them, he will definitely be punished. ”

Qian Jing scratched his head, organized the language, and then said: "Store manager, I'm just a salesperson, and I can't see such a complicated thing in the salesperson system." However, I believe that there can never be absolute neutrality in the world. Any choice, any action, as long as it has an impact on the world, is bound to be biased. Even if I sold him a bar of soap, he washed his hands and didn't have diarrhea. He's happy, and the god of diarrhea might be angry. ”

"What kind of diarrhea god......" Laisha smiled, feeling a little lighter.

"Maybe it's some kind of bacillus that isn't happy...... Anyway, in short, as long as there is activity, it is actually choosing a side, and maintaining neutrality I personally feel that it is to keep the original intention, that is, to look at the problem independently, and always adhere to the position of the white flag grocery store, rather than being led crooked by others. The more Qian Jing said, the more confident he became: "Now our position is ...... Actually, we don't have a position, but we have nothing else to do other than help Captain Chang and mingle with these victims?

Raisa closed her eyes, pondered Qian Jing's words carefully, and then nodded vigorously: "You're right, we really only have Captain Chang and his party to trust now, and only locals can communicate." The channels left by Mr. She, the contacts given by Mr. Liu, we can't use them. ”

"That's okay. Qian Jing said: "If in the past, the White Flag grocery store was like a big department store - I just made an analogy, then now we are a micro-business starting from scratch." Earn money first, and think about tall things, at least this will not be a loss. Our business license doesn't stipulate the scope of business, so let's do what we do to make money with eating and drinking, just like that kind of commercial complex, we can also do it if we play movies and buy popcorn to make money, who wants to think that it can't be done, and if you have the ability, you can also cross over! The spaceship can't be sold, so it's not bad to start with stinky tofu, and in the end, maybe you can like to mention the Star Destroyer, the left-handed business and the right-handed family ......."

"Stop, stop, I think you're a bit far away...... Lai Sha smiled and shook her head: "I see, we have an advantage now, and we can do it." You're right, we are not qualified to exclude or deliberately alienate Captain Chang and them, nor can we look down on small deals one by one. I'm going to find a seal ...... What's her name?"

"Feng Lingzhu, nicknamed forensic doctor. The other is Zhuang Xian, a demoman, nicknamed Kill. Qian Jing immediately answered. "Store manager, I think we actually have a great advantage, as long as we don't wave. ”

The ghost who was eavesdropping on the side covered his forehead, not knowing what to comment.

Raisha found Feng Lingzhu, the two of them said a few words, then looked at Qian Jing together, smiled together, and then took off the translator behind his ear and began to whisper. After a while, the ghost and Zhuang Xian also joined in, chatting enthusiastically.

If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of evacuees around, they would be able to move out of a table and chat while playing mahjong. Qian Jing had a feeling that the glance that Raisa and Feng Lingzhu looked at them just now was full of deep meaning, and they must have some plans. And after the ghost joins in, it is possible to develop towards the conspiracy - that naughty guy will only come up with ghost ideas!

In fact, it didn't take long for Qian Jing to understand what situation he had fallen into. Fortunately, the wounded had already received basic treatment, and Qian Jing didn't need to do anything about the wounds, but he still had to run in and out to deliver news, collect some clothes and bedding for everyone, and at the same time tell jokes to those who were particularly nervous about the fortress stars to relieve their emotions.

As an earthly human, Qian Jing is very good at showing "exotic customs" in the fortress star. His jokes don't go out of style, and the anecdotes of his life are wonderful adventure stories for everyone here. In particular, he doesn't feel superior or dwarf, and he doesn't have any prejudices just because the Stronghold is another race, this kind of equality and affinity gives him a lot of points, so he is quickly welcomed by everyone. Everyone gradually calmed down, shared food and bedding with each other, took a short rest, and prepared to rebuild their homes.

But a third explosion was heard in the distance, shaking both the earth and the hearts of people.
